Subject: Children Of The World

Dear Mr. President,

First of all I want to congratulate you for being the 45th president of The United State Of America. Everyday my friends at school and I can live in peaceful enviroment. It is beacause we all live in harmony and respect each other. As we laugh, play and chat at school, I suddenly remember the fate of the children in Gaza. They all live in suffering. Some of them also live without food, home and also water. Everyday the number of orphans increase in Gaza. A lot of children in Gaza became victim of the war. I heard from my teachers the president of The United States Of America is the most powerful person in the world.I am begging you Mr. President please help end the war and bring back the peace for the children of Gaza.



Thank You.

if only Mr.Obama could react or respond to this letter & all the pledges around the world...Israel would have stopped the holocaust...

a round of applause to elissa for having the will&courage in writing this letter in such a way, a 11yr old would do..

kita mampu berdoa ajelaaa...AMin!

She's sending her email thru yayasan pahang, who will subsequently forward the emails to OBAMA. She is among the selected few representing the schoolchildren of pahang to send their letters to Obama. Nxt week, MB would officiate the functions @ YP- on 21st jan. Apparently, Obama's first day in office on 20th jan - US time. ..and the first email he shall read is elissa's...???haha..u just couldn't imagine elissa's excitement last nite..while typing it out. Of course the ideas in the emails are purely hers but of course we had to help a little bit on the grammar part. Otherwise message would not get thru. Anyway..we were excited as she was..and still are..

Dear Liza, I am moved by the contents of your daughter's letter; every time I hear about innocent people dying I shed tears especially for the Dr who lost his three children whilst helping other war victims ... alfatihah! It is such a sad, sad world out there!
